US Involvement in Iraq- Deadly Chemical Weapons

Posted by Michelle Friedman in American History - Jonas - C on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 8:38 am

​The United States troops and the Central Intelligence Agency have worked together to secretly purchase and remove all illegal and dangerous chemical weapons from Iraq. The United Nations began investigating the weapons that Iraq produced for the Gulf War during 1990-1991. When the United States took military action against Iraq, everything seemed normal until troops started coming across old, corroding, and volatile chemical weapons. In 2005 a secret operation (Operation Avarice) began and the CIA and US troops were able to purchase and remove over 400 weapons. Today, we do not know why Operation Avarice was kept secret from regular troops nor do we know many more details of the operation.

History Infographic

Posted by Cameron Hinton in American History - Jonas - C on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 8:38 am

My group's infographic is about America's development after they succeeded from Great Britain. Most of the things on the infographic is about war related things. Some of it relates to the political stuff and parliament.

Introduction:

This infographic spotlights the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, I takes a look at one of the reasons the U.S. dropped the bomb on Japan. It also discusses the bombs themselves and they are compared to show how they both were extremely dangerous. I chose to focus on this topic since it was an extreme case of American intervention (on civilians no less) that ended up killing hundreds of thousands and even after the bombing damaged the land.

U.S.-AUS Relations

Posted by William Derry in American History - Jonas - C on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 8:36 am

The United States and Australia (AUS) have had diplomatic relations for 75 years. The relationship began in 1940 after AUS left the British Empire. The ANZUS security act, which was signed in 1951, was put into place to create the foundation for the defense and security relationship between the two countries. This act was not enacted upon until 2001 by AUS, after the 9/11 attacks. I decided to focus on this topic because I thought that AUS has an interesting geographical location in the world. Also, in my mind, AUS is often forgotten when it comes to U.S. foreign policy.

Nkrumah's Ghana vs America

Posted by Rafi Hares in American History - Jonas - C on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 8:35 am

Ghana
Ghana
We chose to write about the U.S financial involvement in Ghana because it was different from any other instance of U.S foreign involvement. The U.S used its financial power to influence countries across the ocean and showed once again that it is a super power.

Nkruhmah's Ghana vs America

Posted by Brandon Yam in American History - Jonas - C on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 8:33 am

We decided to do the relationship between Ghana and America. Kwame Nkrumah (president of Ghana) had a bright future planned for Ghana, but the execution was poor. He became blind to the people suffering from his actions and only had his plan in his mind.

  The India-Pakistan conflict led to several different conflicts around the world where third parties wanted to intervene to either rescue one of the countries or to prevent a catastrophic event. Fighting over territory was one of the main causes in this on going conflict. With The U.S, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, China etc. I chose to do this topic because I was interested to in learning about India's connection to the United States. When I found that India had a conflict with neighboring country Pakistan and the United states and others were also involved in the conflict. I wanted to research more about it.

Vietnam War

Posted by David Leonard in American History - Jonas - C on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 8:31 am

The topic I chose is on the Vietnam War. Mainly the U.S. methods and results of helping South Vietnam. I chose this topic since it seemed interesting and I didn't know much about this war to begin with.

My topic is about the U.S. invading the Dominican Republic between the years 1916-1965. I chose this because I wanted to find out what involvement the U.S. had with Latin America.
